Most Salacious Internet Gambling Headlines

In February Interpol exposed a massive betting scandal that could, eventually, send shockwaves to the highest levels of the soccer world.

Spearheaded by a shadowy Singaporean, who is still at large, the ring conspired to fix as many as 700 matches (and those are just the ones we know about).

What we do know is that the group was very efficient and very effective. It’s believe they dropped about $3 million on bribes while earning around $11 million in profits – not too shabby. Not only that, they also embraced the spirit of the global economy by spreading those bribes across the UK, Eastern and Central Europe.

It just goes to show that while regulated betting markets aren’t immune to these sorts of scandals, they do eventually expose them.

I’m just glad Calvin is free and enjoying himself and kind of fed up with US hypocrisy and meddling. Bodog got the raw end of the stick, ever since some judge in Mississippi (or wherever) let some hick legally hijack his domain. Then all the domain seizures, and all to protect their own legal gaming racket, which has worse odds than even a Playtech casino. I figure Calving should start a Federal Bingo, with cards showing various senators/congressman and their financial backers.
